Chair’s Message (Summer 2006 Edition)

Andrew Pope

As your new Internal Combustion Engine

(ICE) Division chair-man, I bring to you avery diverse back-ground of experience. Istarted my engineeringcareer with Cummins

Engine Company as a service engineer. Ithen went to work for Cooper EnergyServices as project engineer/new productsengineer. I then worked on the componentsupplier side, working for National ForgeCompany as a liaison engineer. LeavingNational Forge I then worked as a consult-ant for an engine component supplier. I amcurrently working with several forgingcompanies to help promote the sales oftheir engine components. In my free time Iam the president of JEM Manufacturing,Inc. which is a small wood componentsmanufacturer.

You are probably wondering what allof this has to do with the ICE Division. Iwanted to illustrate to you that there arepeople with very diverse backgrounds thatfind a common interest in the ICEDivision. I have been involved with thisorganization since 1991 and have found itto be very rewarding. It has been like a fra-ternity or sorority, a group of professionalsthat you can call on to help you resolve aproblem or just to socialize (our ever-popu-lar hospitality suite is a good example).This organization has allowed me theopportunity to associate with people fromall over the world who have a commoninterest in internal combustion engines.

I recently had the opportunity toattend the first ASME Leadership TrainingConference (LTC) that was held from March3-5 in Houston. The LTC has replaced theTechnology Executives Conference (TEC)and the regionally based Management

Training Seminars (MTS) as the primaryvenue for volunteer leadership training.

The primary purpose of the LTC wasto provide the unit leaders with a compre-hensive view of the Society’s organization,activities and resources to help them suc-ceed in leading their ASME units. Anemphasis was made to create opportunitiesfor the delegates to network with eachother, the ASME leaders in attendance aswell as the ASME staff. The intent was tobetter enable the exchange of ideas thatmay lead to changes in Society operationsconsistent with ongoing changes in theengineering workplace.

We are all aware of the changes thatare taking place within ASME to help itbetter serve its members and society. ASMEhas reorganized its framework, in responseto a rapidly changing global technologicalenvironment, but its Mission and CoreValues remain constant. Our Mission: Topromote and enhance the technical competen-cy and professional well-being of our members,and through quality programs and activities

Fall 2006 ICE Meeting to be held in Sacramento,California, November 6-8, 2006Tim Callahan

The Fall ICE meeting will be held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento,California. The conference will be hosted by Union Pacific Railroad. The combina-

tion of pending emission regulations for locomotives, a conference host from the railindustry, and the California venue promise to make the conference a major attractionto the locomotive industry. Also included in the program will be the latest from theARES-ARICE natural gas engine programs.

Union Pacific will host the technical tour at their Roseville facility in conjunctionwith the technical meeting. Tour participants will have an opportunity to see variousdiesel-electric locomotives in process of being inspected and repaired, a 2006-modelEPA Tier 2 locomotive, prototype low emission switcher locomotives, and prototypeinstallation of exhaust collector and emissions treatment systems. �

in mechanical engineering, better enable itspractitioners to contribute to the well-beingof humankind. Five key strategic objectiveshave been developed from this mission:

Industry – Strengthen our relationshipswith industry by bringing industry cus-tomers into the center of our product andservice identification

Globalization – Understanding the needs ofindustry customers and members in grow-ing areas outside the United States

Early Career Engineers – Become indispen-sable to early career engineers by providingtechnical information, resources and careerdevelopment services

Outgoing Chairman’s Message Neil X. Blythe

Iwas fishing the other day, when it occurredto me that it had been a long time since I’d

been fishing. It seems I never have time tofish anymore, which is a shame because Ilove to do it. As a single parent, there is notmuch time for leisure activity. Fifty to sixtyhours of work per week, and maintainingthe house and family leaves precious littletime for my much needed beauty sleep, letalone fishing. However, I do manage tosqueeze a little time in for volunteer work.

It started with the kids. It seemed likejust about every activity I signed the kids upfor required 40 hours a week of my personaltime. It was always the same…the leadorganizer would bring all the kids into aroom and put them in front of all the parents,then proceed to describe all of the fun activi-ties the kids would enjoy throughout the year,complete with slide show and theme music.Just when expectations peak, they drop thebomb… “However, unless we can get a fewparents to step forward and volunteer asleaders, the entire organization will fold, andour children will be forced to resort to a lifeof crime and drug abuse.” For some reason,

the other parents didn’t seem bothered by thesuggested alternative lifestyle for their children.

Before long, I was selling beer at sum-mer socials to raise money for my churchand strong arming co-workers into applyingfor home equity loans so they could buy GirlScout cookies. Eventually, I became prettygood at running the slide projector and play-ing the theme music, explaining how horri-ble life would be without a few volunteers. Idiscovered that I was pretty good at most ofthese jobs and derived a great sense of per-sonal satisfaction knowing I was working fora good cause. Not only that, but with everyactivity I volunteered for, I always cameaway with some newfound skill, knowledgeor friendship.

Serving as your Chairman for the lastyear wasn’t much different. While I wasgreatly honored by the request to serve, Iselfishly accepted, knowing I would get a lotmore out of it than I had to put in. Sure, Ihad to give up some fishing, but the oppor-tunity to be part of, and eventually lead,such a well-renown organization was worthit. Therefore, many thanks are in order.

Thanks to theASME-ICEDExecutiveCommittee,both past andpresent; pastfor their con-fidence in meand presentfor all their hard work that made my job soeasy. Thanks to the Technical andAdministrative Committee Chairpersons fortheir leadership, dedication and hard work.Thanks to all of the Division Associates,who primarily fill the job of session organiz-ers and paper reviewers. Thanks to ASMEheadquarters and staff personnel who keepthe division on the straight and narrow. Andthanks to all those who selfishly volunteerfor various committees or assignments forpersonal gain. While it has been a lot ofwork, the pay has been spectacular. But ifyou will excuse me now, I think I just hearda fish jump. �

Chair’s Message – continued from page one

Government – Strengthen our relationshipswith governments as customers and asshapers of key policies impacting ASME

New Revenues – Grow revenue through newproducts and global growth

The ICE Division has already begun toaddress some of these issues. We are current-ly looking at ways to attract more end usersto our conferences which will help bringmore relevance and service to the industry.We have had several off-shore conferencesthat have broadened our global presence. Weknow that the future of our division isdependent upon nurturing its younger mem-bers. With this in mind we have startedlooking at ways to increase our student activ-ities and to attract more young members.Our division has also been involved withgovernment relations and has helped withthe policy-making process. As with mostother divisions, the ICE division continuesto try to find new ways to generate revenue.One method we have reincorporated is theuse of table top displays at our conferences.

I would like to ask for the support ofour executive committee and associates tocontinue to work together to meet ourobjectives and more important, as GregGutoski once said, “Come join the fun - WeGot a Good Thing Going!”.

Get involved you won’t regret it. �

Aachen, Germany was the location of thesecond ASME ICED European Spring

Technical Conference. Aachen, with it´smore than two millennia of history linkedback to the Roman empire, is home of oneof the world leading independent enginedevelopers, FEV.

FEV Engine Technology, which isinvolved in the development of large boreengines in the US and Europe, served as theconference host.

With FEV´s organizational and logisticalsupport, it turned out to be a good choice.FEV´s Marketing department insured thatevery detail of the conference was in place,enabling the 130 conference delegates toenjoy the technical sessions, social gatheringsand networking opportunities in a very wel-coming environment. Between the lecturesand plenary sessions, it definitely was a mar-ket for information and news.

Neil Blythe, Conference Chairman, said“For me it was very interesting to experiencethe approach taken by our Aachen host.Besides the logistics of the technical pro-gram, they made sure the social events werejust as enjoyable. This gave the conference avery warm and personal atmosphere. Just tomention one highlight, the conference din-ner was held in the old city hall, in whichCharlemagne and his successors ruledEurope for several centuries.” The mayor ofAachen, Ms. Hilde Scheid, gave the welcomeaddress, showing traditional Aachen hospi-tality and providing the group with some ofthe rich history of the city.

The 2006 Aachen conference wasintended to give ASME´s activities inGermany and Europe “greater internationalvisibility and intensify the exchange of ideasfrom our global community”, as Neil Blytheput it. ICED continues to pursue other ideasand venues to this purpose.

Professor Dr.-Ing. Stefan Pischinger,CEO and president of FEV, as well as direc-tor of the Institute of Combustion Enginesat the Aachen University of Technology gavethe keynote address,highlighting topics thatdrive the developmentand market of engines.He identified the fourmajor corner stones ofthe playing field forthe future as the reduc-tion of fuel consump-tion, shorter develop-ment time combinedwith reduced cost, thedynamic demand

and specific needs of the market, beinglinked with the emission legislation varyingover the different global regions and coun-tries. So, a highly demanding developmenttrend with rapidly increasing complexity inengine technology, including Diesel andGasoline Engines, alternative fuels as well astransmission and hybrid, is on the agenda inthe future. These demanding issues requiregreater utilization of modeling and simula-tion tools.

The main technical tracks of the confer-ence were End Use Operations andMaintenance, Advancements in Engine andEmission Technology, Application ofEmissions Technologies, Fuels andCombustion, Engine Design and Analysis,Lubrication and Friction as well asInstrumentation and Controls so that it defi-nitely was a 360° view of the industry. Thelectures and discussions allowed participantsto really dig deep into the present knowledgebase and provided excellent access to state-of-the-art technology of engine related fields.Also leading edge technologies, prototypestudies as well as applicable scientificresearch results were presented, providing anexcellent window into the future of enginetechnologies.

Among those subjects, for instance wasan X-Ray-based analysis project, developedat the Argonne Laboratory in Chicago. Thispresentation described a method to view thecombustion chamber during engine opera-tion. With this technology, it is possible toprecisely measure the fuel spray as a functionof time, relative to x,y,z-coordinates. Thus, itallows acquiring complete 3D-data for bettermodeling and simulation, allowing faster andmore efficient component design. The timeand locus resolution applied represents a realleap forward for the engineers. �
